Who are We?

The Wisconsin Fire Service Administration Association (WSFAA) is an organization made up of administrative assistants, secretaries, and other related support staff from fire departments throughout the state. We meet on a quarterly basis at different locations. The June meeting is normally held in conjunction with the Annual State Fire Chief’s Convention. In September we hold a full day educational program.
